I used to shoot a SX3 now I have a Versa Max. Both are great guns but the Versa kicks like a 20 ga with 3.5's which is why I sold the SX3. I had two surgeries on my shoulder and the Versa is the ticket.

You guys that love these auto's: Do you hunt in cold weather (single digits fahrenheit)? Do you hunt in fields?

I have yet to see an auto that at some point didn't turn into a single shot. A good buddy has an Extrema, and it went a number of years without an issue, but last year it gave out in cold/dirty conditions. I would like to use one, but have not been convinced of thier reliability.

pump user regards,

That's the reason I shoot a SBE 1. I have 2 in fact................one for upland and one for the blind. 10's of thousands of rounds thru both.

I have a Mossberg 9200 and has never not cycled in cold weather and I'm talking 10 degrees and a blowing wind. The Berreta is the only other one I've seen not freeze up in the cold. I also run mine dry during the bitter cold, that way the oil doesn't thicken.
